Craft CMS Developer Benchmark Results 2022




We’re so pleased to have been able to conduct the Craft Benchmark survey again. This year we’ve had 297 respondents from 35 countries – up 22% and 6% from last year respectively.
2022 has been a big year for Craft, with the release of both Craft CMS 4 and Craft Commerce 4.
We did this benchmark to:
- Give insight into the Craft CMS developer community
- Give ideas on how to use Craft CMS better
- Give ammunition for pitching Craft CMS to clients
We created this benchmark because:
- We're Craft CMS developers
- We believe the report will be helpful for the community
- We wanted to learn and get better at what we do – and hope you do too
And just to clarify – we have no association with Craft CMS or Pixel & Tonic.
